Gabbitas

Consulting in all aspects of the independent education sector since 1873. The partnership was later joined by Mr Charles Thring.

The firm was established in 1873 by Mr Askin and Mr John Gabbitas as an agency for the recruitment of schoolmasters to English public schools. Gabbitas today embraces a wealth of expertise on all aspects of education in the UK. Generations of parents have sought our advice to find suitable independent boarding and day schools for their children. Today we offer personal guidance and expertise at all stages of education, from pre-school to post-university and careers, covering School Selection, Educational Assessments, Interview Techniques and Practice, and Tutors. Special guidance is offered to overseas students coming to school or university in the UK, while our guardianship service provides comprehensive care and support for children from overseas who attend boarding schools in the UK. Our experienced School Development department advises on issues of school management, finance and development.

At Gabbitas, we don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. For us, school placement is about more than ticking boxes, it’s about listening to each family’s story and finding the school where their child will truly thrive.

Whether your child is an aspiring scientist, artist, or world traveler, our consultants take the time to match them with a community where they’ll feel seen, supported, and inspired.

Your journey is unique. Shouldn’t your school placement be, too?

“A World Away, But Never Alone”
Choosing to send your child abroad is a bold step, one filled with hope, excitement, and yes, a touch of worry. At Gabbitas, we understand that your child’s journey is about more than academics; it’s about building independence while feeling supported every step of the way.

Our Guardianship service goes beyond the basics. We’re not just a name on a form, we’re the reassuring voice on the end of the phone, the friendly face at the airport, and the caring adult your child can rely on throughout their time in the UK. From emergency support to everyday encouragement, we ensure your child is safe, happy, and thriving.

Because for us, guardianship isn’t a box to tick, it’s a promise:
Wherever they are, your child will always have someone in their corner.

Trust Gabbitas to be that someone.

We were delighted to co-host an event in Thailand last weekend with Berkeley Group and its local partner, Zupreme, bringing together UK property and education under one roof.

A huge thank-you to Minnie Huang and Tracy Wei for representing Gabbitas so brilliantly. They introduced our services, shared insights into the British independent education system, and helped raise awareness of the Gabbitas brand.

The event was a fantastic opportunity to showcase UK private education alongside Berkeley Group’s London developments, including Bow Green and White City Living.
